Split the whole wheat English muffins and lightly toast them. Set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, spray a light coating of olive oil. Cook the turkey sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until fully cooked and browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add spinach leaves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Whisk egg whites with salt and pepper. Spray the skillet again lightly with olive oil. Pour in the egg whites and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until set and scrambled.
Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of each English muffin, layer scrambled egg whites, a sausage patty, sautéed spinach, and a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Top with the other half of the English muffin. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy breakfast sandwich.
